VALLEJO, Calif. - Attorneys for a California man who reported that his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, was kidnapped in what police are now calling a hoax, say the man himself was bound and drugged during the abduction and that it was not made up.

Attorney Dan Russo says his client Aaron Quinn, 30, did not immediately call police when his girlfriend, 29-year-old Denise Huskins, was abducted early Monday because at least two kidnappers "forced him to drink something" they said was a drug.

Police say Quinn waited until Monday afternoon to report that strangers broke into his Vallejo home nearly 12 hours earlier and abducted his girlfriend for an $8,500 ransom.
